Some interesting speculation on the Nameless Scapegoat (N.S.) whom NBC is blaming for that editing "error" that had George Zimmerman telling 911:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.


Remember that Richard Jewell was the guy Tom Brokaw basically blamed for the Atlanta Olympic bombing. NBC paid for that one.

When you publish something so bad you face a giant adverse defamation verdict–well that’s exactly when you try not to fire the reporter or editor responsible. If you fire them, they’re likely to cut a separate deal with the plaintiff and testify in court about how sloppy your editorial practices were, how you had it in for plaintiff all along, etc.

I suspect the N.S. might have some valuable information to offer a plaintiff’s lawyer. Like how maybe there was a surge of enthusiasm at, yes, the highest levels of NBC News for turning this story into a clear cut emotional morality play (fueled by trendy social media!) and riding it to higher ratings for days, if not weeks.

We had a shooting here in Tulsa on Good Friday.
The national news has reported that 2 "white" men were the confessed shooters of 5 "black" people.
But one "white" guy is a brown Native American Indian whose father was killed exactly 2 years ago by a "black" man.

In a similar twist of reality, Zimmerman was identified as a "white" Hispanic.
It seems that the news may have a sick agenda...

I finally found out what a "white Hispanic" looks like.

But I really like "white African-Americans" better...Like Charlize Theron.

In this video the "white" guy on the ground is eerily reminiscent of Zimmerman's story of being knocked down with one punch with his head loudly hitting the pavement.


There are some disturbing images in the video.
Arrest made in gang beatdown, strip assault in Baltimore...
I can't find where the attacker was charged with a "Hate Crime".
Maybe the attacker liked the guy.

Baltimore has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, so he was helpless and there was no one else who was able to help him.
What unarmed person would disrupt a violent gang to protect the innocent?
The criminals knew they had a free pass.

Maryland handgun permit provision unconstitutional, federal judge rules

Now that the riots have calmed down, we see the photo of Zimmerman's head:

Female Suspect in Baltimore Strip Assault Arrested...
20-year-old Shayona Davis is behind bars, charged with assault and armed robbery, but no hate crime.
“Miss Davis used her shoe, her high-heeled shoe, as a weapon during that attack,” said Anthony Guglielmi.

So you guys are recommending a CMCSK short?

Gun Sales Surge: Stores Running Out Of Ammo

So you guys are recommending a CMCSK short?

Sadly we are seeing a surge in gun sales and a shortage of bullets.
So maybe go long RGR (Ruger)...or LD (lead)?

That chart looks like it's shot full of holes, worse than a stop sign on an Oklahoma country road.

Fortunately, they haven't shot up the Statue of Liberty. Yet:
